Wells are always equipped with a pressure tank (which is an accumulator), but the capacity is pretty small. To prevent excessive pump cycling with irrigation you would need a rather large tank since you'd want it to run irrigation for at least minutes at a time - I think this is beyond what's practical with a pressure tank, so that you'd have to go to a small water tower. I'm not sure though, it's an interesting idea.
